"Host, please wait patiently, because history is currently uncontrollable. If any deviation occurs, the impact on the future could be enormous! Therefore, the tasks to follow will be allocated according to the changing history!" The system's cheerful voice came through, yet it conveyed a sense of solemnity.
In particular, it has a lot of meaning.
Jingrou lowered her eyelashes. Does what she's saying mean that history is now taking a completely different turn than before?
That's why we need to be extra careful when the system assigns tasks, including our own fate and the fate of our grandparents.
Does that mean I won't end up like the Eighth Prince's wife?
Jingrou had no idea. She still had too little information. She was confused about many things. Otherwise, she wouldn't have failed to recognize the Crown Prince and foolishly become his friend for so long.
Previously, she had been confined to the world of Prince An's residence and was completely unaware of what was happening in the palace. Even today, she only learned that her aunt was Consort Yi!
She also learned that she had a younger cousin.
Jingrou rested her chin on her hand, looking at the things in front of her with some worry. She didn't even know when the system had logged off.
Firstly, because she is too young, there are many things I can't explain to her, and it's inconvenient for me to inquire about them. If she were older, I could ask her clearly about some things.
Secondly, she knows too little about history!
If I had watched a few more TV series in the past, I wouldn't be in such a predicament!
Jingrou thought dejectedly. If only she had watched more TV dramas back then and learned more about Qing Dynasty history, it would have been better than being completely ignorant like this now…
But it's too late to regret it now; she couldn't have known the future.
Who could have imagined becoming such a vivid figure in history?
However, she increasingly felt that she was living her own life, not a pale and powerless two-dimensional character in history.
Wenying thought she was still worried about what had just happened, so she lowered her voice and said to her, "Don't worry, the Fifth Prince should be fine. I heard that the court and the harem are both very busy today and can't take care of so many things..." I don't know where she got such information.
Jingrou nodded.
However, the rest of the morning passed peacefully, and the princes outside also quieted down.
In the blink of an eye, the whole morning had passed, and Jingrou was taken back by the nanny sent from Yikun Palace.
As soon as she entered, Jingrou saw her cousin, who had been peering eagerly into her room earlier, now sitting upright and proper.
"Cousin Jingrou." Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, he broke down. His eyes looked at her eagerly, and he stood up impatiently.
Consort Yi pulled Jingrou to her side. "How was your day? Was your teacher fierce this morning? Did those princesses bully you? I heard your little cousin went to cause trouble again?" Her barrage of questions left Jingrou unsure of which to answer.
When she finished speaking, Consort Yi glanced at Yinqi sideways. Yinqi immediately deflated.
"No, Mother... It was clearly my older brother and the others who were causing trouble..." Mother had already scolded him, and even though he kept explaining, Mother wouldn't listen.
Consort Yi glared at him. She had only just entered the palace; Jingrou shouldn't attract too much attention. Sometimes being too prominent in the palace wasn't a good thing.
"I like it very much, Aunt. My cousin is also very nice. Jingrou knows that it is my cousin who cares about Jingrou." She smiled sweetly and tugged at the sleeve of Yinqi, who was half a head taller than her.
Yinqi's smile widened instantly, growing brighter and brighter. The strength of his sleeve was very weak and soft; it could be easily released with a struggle. However, he froze, unwilling to open his arms.
So this is what it feels like to have a younger sister! It's so wonderful!
Consort Yi's smile deepened. "That brat is really something. Even though he cares about his sister, he can't just go over while Jingrou is studying. He really doesn't know any manners. But he is older than you after all. If you need anything in the future, just go to him. You two live close by, so it will be convenient for you to get along." Consort Yi gestured to Yinqi.
Yinqi followed behind her and nodded vigorously.
It feels so good to have a younger sister! I'll definitely protect her from now on, especially since her brothers are all bad people!
With the Empress Dowager as his backer, Yinqi, though stripped of any possibility of inheriting the throne, never feared anyone while living in the palace. As for the Crown Prince, it was because he was influenced by the Empress Dowager and had a deep understanding of Buddhism that he was unwilling to compete for the limelight.
He was determined to protect his little cousin. So, unbeknownst to anyone, the Crown Prince suddenly found himself facing another difficult obstacle on his path to winning her heart.
Yikun Palace has a small kitchen.
A person of ordinary taste would not have the face to apply for a small kitchen from the Emperor, and the Imperial Household Department would not grant such an request.
However, Consort Yi was special. First of all, she had already given birth to a prince and her rank had been promoted. In addition, she had a straightforward personality and was very popular with the two empress dowagers in the palace. With such a powerful backer, the Imperial Household Department was naturally willing to respect her.
The kitchen staff are really good at cooking. Even if the food made in the imperial kitchen is exquisite and delicious, it will be completely cold by the time it reaches here, and most of its flavor will be lost.
Jingrou ate several snacks throughout the morning, but they were all dry and cold, and a bit hard to swallow.
Moreover, Jingrou didn't like to relieve herself in that place, so she also controlled her water intake, had little appetite, and ate very little.
After drinking the warm bowl of white fungus soup that Consort Yi brought over, Jingrou felt much better in her stomach!
Yinqi was actually a bit of a picky eater, and his tastes were more inclined towards the Empress Dowager's preferred bland flavors. He wouldn't eat anything with a stronger taste.
But Consort Yi was different. She always liked to eat spicy or salty food to warm herself up and feel better.
Her son, however, did not follow her tastes.
However, when she saw Jingrou still picking up a piece of boiled fish even though her lips were already smeared with a light red oil, she became even happier.
Hey, even though my son didn't learn his taste, having a little niece is pretty great!
From now on, I can happily eat whatever I want. Having a girl who shares my tastes is true happiness!
Jingrou entered the palace early this morning, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and her appetite was excellent at this time.
Moreover, when Yinqi saw that Jingrou had a good appetite, coupled with her adorable appearance while eating, his appetite also improved!
